In Alberta, approval of the government’s handling of the outbreak has remained positive and steady since June– though lagging behind the provincial average. Kenney’s personal favourability has dropped since June while Rachel Notley’s is on the rise; yet, the UCP continues to hold a lead in vote intention due to their strong partisan base. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from July 2020 Canada This Month survey. The online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 300 Alberta residents. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix.

  • Ev Song Capsules
    THE WEATHERMAN LP – SONG CAPSULES "I KNOW" "Go out on my own, something that I gotta do" It’s never easy to start from scratch. I knew this would be the 1st song on my album when I made it early in the recording process. "If you build it they will come"-Field Of Dreams "MR SLOW FLOW" My first single…I really wasn’t trying to fit in when I made this song. Being fresh off Capitol Records where they were trying to mold Dilated Peoples into Pop hit makers, this is my “Fuck You” record. Real dark, clever wordplay and heavy cuts. Basically the original energy of what people were attracted to me for in the first place. Back to square one. "Party Time, Excellent!" -Wayne Cambell "LETYOURSELFGO" feat THE ALCHEMIST & PHONTE This was supposed to be for The Alchemist & Evidence Album (A&E) coming next year. This is one of Al's best beats to date. (Bold statement) My verse is really about starting all over in life and letting myself go, hence the title was born. I just came off tour with Little Brother and had learned that Phonte could really sing, so we sent him the song hoping he would write a hook of that nature, when we got it back it was completely different than we imagined, but was crazy fresh. "It’s A Keeper" -Fat Bastard, Austin Powers "DOWN IN NEW YORK CITY" This is my version of Notorious B.I.G.'s, "Going Back To Cali" I’m born and raised in L.A.
